Hello I am working on a Social Media Page where Users can upload Images.

The uploaded Files are in my BLOG Folder, where also my Feed.html is placed where the Content is displayed.

But I want to show the uploaded Files to my Profile.hmtl as well, the File is on the USERS Folder.

For example:

<img class="image-style" src="{{ post.file.url }}">

this is the code that shows the Image Content, but when I use this on my /USERS/Profile.html it doesn't show the content, because the url is on the BLOG Folder, how can I adjust the code to get the information from the Blog Folder?

Thank you for every Answer.

What I have tried:

I tried something like:

<img class="image-style" src="{{ blog/post.file.url }}">

but that of course didn't work.

I tried to get the views.py and urls.py from USERS to BLOG but it just mixes up everything and doesn't work well.

You need to adjust the image source path to point to the correct location relative to your /USERS/Profile.html file, what you are looking for is '../' which will navigate up one folder.

I am assuming this is what your folder/file structure looks like -

markdown

BLOG/
    - Feed.html
    - images/
        - image1.jpg
        - image2.jpg
- USERS/
    - Profile.html

Based on structure, your code will be -

HTML

<img class="image-style" src="../BLOG/images/image1.jpg">

What the code does is, go from the current folder - 'USERS' with file 'Profile.html' open, up one folder to - 'BLOG', down one folder into - 'images' and then the actual image file.

well my images are being uploaded to the database, so i can't just select an Image directly, but have to use {{ post.file.url }} for it to be selected. Is there a way I can make that command {{ post.file.url }} directed to BLOG, because the Python for it is on the BLOG Folder?

Yes, just change the source accordingly -

<img class="image-style" src="../BLOG/post.file.url">

It didn't work, it didn't display the images, but still thank you for you're help.

Have you tried -

<img class="image-style" src="{{ ../blog/post.file.url }}">

Also show me what 'post.file.url' returns in the url?

Yes i tried the code. It gives me back this Error:

TemplateSyntaxError at /user/21/
Could not parse the remainder: '/blog/post.file.url' from '../blog/post.file.url'
